Anymore or any more

Hi Folks,

He's not a captain anymore/any more.

Which is right? Can they be used interchangeably?

Thanks.

anonymous Which is right? Traditionally, it's "any more", and it is probably safe to use that, but "anymore" has become the de facto "correct" form, I would say.

The Americans tend to use 'anymore' in that context. The British tend to use 'any more'. So it depends which variety of English you're learning.

They are not interchangeable in other contexts, however.

We don't have any more sugar. (Not anymore.)
